Best choice at the location

Although it is far away from main cities, it is still easy to get access from Tokyo or Sendai from direct Shinkansen train. The location of the hotel is very nice. It is just a few steps away from the lake Tazawako. They served very yummy local cuisine too. Staff are all professional and helpful.

The entire area around Lake Tazawa has seen better days. So has this property; it is a bit tired and in need of some love and attention. Having said that, the overall experience was very good, with great staff and exceptional dining.

We booked our stay to experience a traditional Ryokan and are so glad we did! From the moment we entered the building, the staff made us feel welcome, were incredibly attentive and the picture of Japanese service standards, which are so much higher than what we are used to in Europe! We were incredibly impressed with the meals in general, but particularly the dinner was outstanding. Our waiter made the experience extra special and we loved the pride with which he explained the dishes to us as well as the food presentation. Dinner is served in a private dining room opposite the rooms. The rooms are spacious and very clean. We would highly recommend to book this place if you’re up for a truly Japanese experience. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Kashintei Shirahama is definitely one of the best Japanese ryokans we have visited. Location wise it's perfectly located right by Lake Tazawa, 30 minutes from Kakunodate, ski resort, Dakigaeri Valley, Tatsuko statue. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, especially Nori-san and Minori. Whenever we hit a snag with our communications, Google Translate would hop in. The first floor is where the private onsen and public onsen are located. The rooms are on 3rd,4th and 5th, with 5 units on each floor. We got the room with 2 double beds. We ordered the half board option so we have Japanese breakfast and kaiseki dinner for 2 days. There's no duplicate dish, and we got to enjoy many Akita specialty such as Kiritanpo, Hinai chicken, Inaniwa udon. Every single dish is exquisite in taste and is a piece of art. The meals are served at a private dining room. You can also use the private onsen free off charge, it's first come first serve for 40 minutes max. There's a free parking lot across there street and elevator, so it's not of a concern with moving the luggage to the room. The bed is very comfortable, we slept like a baby. It's very relaxing vibe.

非常乾淨的飯店，全棟飯店都鋪上塌塌米，連電梯內也是。入內需要脫鞋，飯店服務人員會幫你收鞋子、或是幫你準備好鞋子。用餐的地方就在你房間門口對面，用餐氣氛極佳。24小時開放溫泉，有家庭風呂與露天風呂。鄰近田澤湖畔，落日很漂亮。
